Three Kenai Republicans have asked Gov. Mike Dunleavy to join in a lawsuit filed by the attorney general of Texas against four states — Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin — over elections.
“Trustworthy elections are a cornerstone of our constitutional republic,” they wrote. “Recent action by our judicial branch, with the effect of allowing absentee ballots to be accepted without a witness signature, is contrary to state law. The judicial branch has no constitutional authority to change state law in this matter.”
Signed by Reps. Ben Carpenter, Sarah Vance, and Rep.-elect Ron Gillham, the letter asked the governor to direct Acting Attorney General Ed Sniffen to join in the Texas lawsuit.
